Wedding barn owners sue to invalidate law they say threatens their business

Owners of wedding barns in Wisconsin filed a lawsuit Tuesday to invalidate part of a new law they say could put them out of business.

by Henry Redman, Wisconsin Examiner May 8, 2024 Owners of wedding barns in Wisconsin filed a lawsuit Tuesday to invalidate part of a new law they say could put them out of business.  The lawsuit, brought by wedding barn owners in Green Lake and Trempealeau counties with the aid of a conservative legal group, challenges language in the law signed last year by Gov. Tony Evers that changes when the…

It’s advisable to keep your livestock out in open pasture during hurricanes and large storms because animals naturally travel to the highest point during flooding and move for their safety if given the option. Larger flightier animals like horses will injure themselves if left locked in a barn during a big storm. If you live in an area prone to dangerous storms, make sure to microchip your pets (yes, you can microchip pigs and horses and goats and other pets, it’s not just for cats and dogs) and don’t lock them in the barn.

Happily Ever After

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x reader

Summary: Y/N is feeling conflicted on her wedding day. Despite the expectations of her family, Y/N realizes that her heart belongs to another. Encountering Bucky before the ceremony, Y/N confronts her doubts and ultimately decides to follow her heart, fleeing the wedding and running into Bucky's waiting car.

Word Count: 1,7+

A/N: Bucky is a knight in shining armour. Please comment and let me know what you think!

A wedding day was supposed to be a happy day filled with love and joy. A day to remember for the rest of your life as one of the most important events. Everyone was supposed to be smiling and shedding happy tears throughout the day, making memories that would last them a lifetime. 

But why did it feel so wrong?

Y/N was pacing around in her room, biting her nails, no doubt the manicure she had gotten yesterday was already a bit chipped and messed up. She didn’t care, though. Her body was trembling, she couldn’t breathe properly and she didn’t have anyone around that could calm her nerves.

Her parents had been joyous at the engagement and at the time it had felt right. At least she kept telling herself that. Reminding herself of everyone else’s happiness. But she had never truly been happy in the relationship.

Perhaps the real truth had always been there. The relationship was something that happened over the course of many years, mostly due to her mother’s and future mother-in-law’s meddling. 

The older women had been neighbours for years and when they found out their children were similar in age the matchmaking had begun. Y/N had to admit that Robert was handsome and a true gentleman, but he hadn’t ignited something deeper in her soul. Not like someone else had in the past. Someone that her parents had deemed wrong for her many years prior.

A soft knock was heard on the door and she turned around coming face to face with the culprit who had stolen her heart and who her soul belonged to.

“Bucky? What are you doing here? I thought you said you weren’t going to come,” she smiled softly at Bucky and took in his attire. He was wearing his usual black leather jacket, but underneath it lay a black button-up shirt instead of his usual colored henley. 

Bucky Barnes was the most handsome man she had ever seen, and the way he looked at her right now made her question all of the life choices that had led her to this moment.

He came closer to her, shaking his head as he took her in.

“Wow, doll,” he said in a whisper, his voice cracking and she swore she could see tears in his eyes.

“You look breathtaking,” he placed both of his hands on her cheek, making her look up at him.

She was right, his eyes were glossy, and seeing him so emotional made her own eyes start to tear up.

He whispered her name softly, as the first tear fell from her eyes. 

“Don’t cry, it’s supposed to be a happy day.”

She closed her eyes and shook her head. Grasping onto his hands that still held her face.

“But why does it feel so wrong?”

He sighed as he placed his forehead on hers. They stood there for a while, completely in silence and taking in each other’s company.

“I’m going to wait for you in my car if you end up choosing to go against your family.” 

Y/N opened her eyes at that, smiling at Bucky. They had had this same conversation two days ago.

“Bucky, you know I can’t do that.”

He abruptly pulled away then, shaking his head at her comment. There was a storm behind his eyes and Y/N knew he wasn’t pleased in the slightest about the predicament she was in. His fingers were shaking as he paced around the room, obviously angry.

“Why? Why do you have to put everyone else’s happiness above your own? What about your happily ever after” He asked as he pulled at his hair, avoiding the smaller ones' gaze.

Y/N looked away from him, tears flowing easily now. He had a point, she knew it, but she couldn’t risk losing her family. Bucky was giving her a choice she could never accept.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered and Bucky looked at her then. He sighed and moved closer to her once more.

“I meant what I said. I’m going to be waiting for you. I’ll wait until I see the doors open and you both walk out hand-in-hand. Only then, I’ll leave. But if at any moment, any at all, you finally decide to choose your own happiness before the ceremony is over, I’ll be ready.” He closed the distance between them and laid a tender kiss on her forehead, before leaving her alone in the room once more.

15 minutes later, Y/N was walking down the aisle, after having successfully fixed her makeup and removed any obvious signs of her breakdown.

She had noticed her parents first. Their proud smiles and her mother’s nod irked something in her, but she tried her best to ignore it and kept walking further. She noticed Robert next. He looked good in his grey suit with a satisfied smile on his face, and suddenly she realised that he was not the one she wanted to be waiting for her at the altar.

No, he didn’t have the ocean eyes that left her breathless whenever he looked at her for more than a second. He never looked at her as if she had hung the stars and the moon up in the darkened sky and lit up the whole world. 

No. Robert just looked.. Pleased.

She had had an inkling that Robert had only agreed to propose because her own family had a better income. Bucky had once mentioned it to her, a fact that left her uneasy. She had brushed it off, but seeing the way he looked at her now, as if she were a walking cash check, made her stomach churn.

She stopped dead in her tracks. Robert frowned, the guests gasped and her mother looked at her with a stern face, slowly shaking her head.

“Y/N, don’t do it.” Her mother voiced and she just grinned at everyone. 

Y/N turned around and with a laugh and a newfound energy she had never felt before, ran back down the aisle towards the brown wooden doors. She could hear her mother screaming at her, but she didn’t care anymore. How had she almost gone through with the wedding when it was never something she truly wanted?

Y/N opened the door and quickly ran down the stairs, noticing the black SUV that Bucky drove. He was there like he’d promised.

The window rolled down and Bucky’s handsome face appeared.

“Do you need a ride?” He asked with a smirk, before leaning over the middle console and opening the door for her.

She sat in quickly, before looking behind her shoulder and seeing Robert and their mothers already running out of the church door. 

“Go, go, go,” she yelled at him and he drove off before she could even buckle herself in. The car left the sidewalk just a second before Robert could reach her.

They sat in silence for a few seconds before both of them burst out laughing. She leaned back in her seat, feeling the rush of adrenaline still coursing through her veins.

“God, that was the most exhilarating thing I’ve ever done,” she shook her head in disbelief looking over at Bucky, who was already looking at her.

“Where to next, princess?” 

The whole world was upon her now, but there was only one place she could feel the happiest.

“Take me home, Buck,” she whispered and he gave her a funny look, not understanding why she’d want to go home out of all the possibilities.

“Your place,” she corrected herself and Bucky was speechless for a second before a wide grin set on his face.

“To home it is,” he said with a proud voice.

They had driven for 30 minutes until they finally arrived at Bucky’s cabin. It was a lovely place, perfect in size and a bit further from the city, that gave them the perfect amount of privacy.

“I’ve always loved your house,” Y/N whispered as she stepped out of the car and started walking towards the house. She yelped suddenly when she felt her legs lift off the ground and found herself in Bucky’s arms.

Bridal-style.

He was smirking at her mischievously and Y/N raised an eyebrow at him.

“It’s customary to carry the bride over the threshold after the wedding,” he said and she rolled her eyes ignoring the bubbling feeling inside, loving the feel of his arms around her.

“What wedding? I don’t remember attending a ceremony,” she chuckled and he tightened his grip on her.

“Well, you’re still wearing a wedding dress.”

Once inside, he lowered her to stand, but still left his hands lingering on her waist, holding her close.

“Y/N,” he whispered her name and it sounded like honey to her ears. She closed her eyes and sighed, not remembering the last time she felt this happy. There was only one thing that could make this day better.

“Can I finally kiss you?” She opened her eyes at his question, smiling at the man in front of her. 

Her one true love.

“I was just about to ask you the same,” she admitted and the smile that appeared on his face could’ve lightened up the whole room.

Without another word, Bucky closed the distance between them, his hand reaching out to gently pull her in. His touch sent shivers down Y/N’s spine as she leaned more into his embrace, her eyes fluttering closed.

And then, their lips finally met in a tender kiss, igniting a firestorm of emotions neither of them could contain. It was a kiss filled with passion, longing, and a depth of feeling that transcended words.

Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in each other, their bodies pressed together as if trying to merge into one. Y/N ran her fingers through Bucky’s soft hair, letting him pull herself closer as he deepened the kiss, savouring every moment of their connection. 

“I love you, Y/N. Always have and always will.” He said against her lips with so much emotion that Y/N felt tears in her eyes again.

“You’re my happily ever after, Bucky. I love you.”

And as they stood there, wrapped in each other’s arms, they knew that this kiss was just the beginning of their wonderful fairytale together.

Wisconsin wedding barns sue over state's new liquor law requiring licensing

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A pair of Wisconsin wedding barns sued the state Tuesday seeking to block enactment of a new law that requires them to get liquor licenses similar to other establishments that host events. Owners and operators of wedding barns tried unsuccessfully last year to kill the law that overhauled regulation of the state’s multibillion-dollar liquor industry. The changes had been…

//Steve/Bucky wedding overview but I didn't want to have to write a lot so it's a list of poorly-thought-out plot points.//

T'Challa officiated

Shuri made my arm have a ring built in

Alpine was the ring bearer (I told Steve no to the actual bear)

My granddaughter was adorable, but I had to fight @marvelqueents to convince them not to put their kid in an actual American flag

It took place on the Fourth of July (Steve's birthday) at the Grand Canyon //in the comics Bucky had always wanted to go there//

Sam was Steve's best man and Natasha was mine

Most of the music was from the thirties and forties

I did not cry and on an unrelated note Sam is a fucking liar

@theironcan paid for everything (thank you, Tony)

My first dances after Steve were with @little-lady-cecily and @moongirlwidow who brought both her partners

My goats from my time in Wakanda were there because they are my babies

I won a bet with Steve so he had to wear the white suit

The Delacroix Ceremony

(respond as you please. For mod's sake for this one, will be written fully in prose. If you were invited/are a plus one but I didn't tag you join in -- its a lot of people and I was unfortunately not smart enough to keep some form of a master list/ )

On the day of the Barnes-Delacroix wedding, the weather was perfect. Sunlight streamed in the many large windows of Heartwood's School where the wedding was held, crisp autumn leaves rustling in the breeze and the world filled with orange and red and gold set against a blue sky with harmless, beautiful clouds.

Heartwoods was filled with life, a historic manor house set in the woods, protected in a bend of the Hudson River. Children ran around in clothes for a wedding, setting things up and playing in the gardens, just the kind of place one would've expected Becca Barnes to pick. When they arrived, eager, magical children and teens led them through the large, bright mansion to a library, something out of a fantasy tale. It was tall and light, filled wall to wall with more books than could be imagined, with balconies for a double-height and stained glass.

The large, open reading area in the center had been set up for the wedding, with chairs arranged on either side of a centre aisle, an arch of flowers waiting, with chairs for the wedding parties on either side. As the guest seated themselves, soft music was playing

The ceremony proper started at 2pm as set, new music starting. The processional began.

First came Valeria's wedding party -- it was small, but clearly thought-out. Estelle Rosewood( @darling-of-the-underground), her adoptive sister/daughter, dressed in flowing black, true fae form shining proud with charcoal black skin and white hair the sunlight glinted from, seven feet tall and smiling in her deep red gown. On her arm, her brother, Eliza Castle-Delacroix( @chaotic-castle), Valeria's son, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit in the same red, dark curls wild as always as he grinned deviously, proud as he strode down the aisle, along with a few of Valeria's close friends she'd made over the years and a couple of teens. Right at the tale end were two distinctive figures -- Dominique Emerson and Em Gladstone ( @the-dominique-emerson @just-a-fucking-civilian), Valeria's former mentee and rising Mafia boss, and her girlfriend, Valeria's... no one was actually quite sure, but the girl was certainly important, kept away from the club itself and the mafia. Rumors were wild but all unconfirmed. The former wore a red suit, matched to the latter's, both smiling widely. Peggy Carter( @capt-carter-mostly-official), smiling proudly and dressed in blue, her maid of honor, the friend who had been constant through centuries, came last in Valeria's section.

Next, it was Rebecca's party, dressed in the same rich red. First in her party appeared her child Asta( @asta-barnes-rogers), dressed in a red suit with matching noise-cancelling headphones, a black cat curled in their arms with a red bow on it's collar, and a couple of fidget toys poking out of their pocket. Then Cordelia Wright( @little-miss-delia), Eliza Delacroix's girlfriend, who Becca had taken under her wing, dressed in a soft, flowing red dress, smiling shyly. About four other teens from the club and family members followed, matching, before her maid of honor, Sarah Rogers( @sarahrogers-steviesmum), her adoptive mother.

And at last, the flower girls -- Nadia Aberdeen and Jamie Carter ( @nadia-aberdeen @little-jamie-carter) holding each other's hands as they made their way down the aisle, tossing flower petals. Nadia was dressed as a princess in a pretty blue dress with a twirling tulle, a nice tiara in her hair, Jem in a soft purple dress made of light cottons and muslin that wouldn't irritate her skin, noise-cancelling headphones on her head and Bubba safely in her basket.

Then the music shifted as the first bride appeared. Valeria with her hair in an elegant twist and dressed in a sharp black suit, cane tapping. And smiling, broadly, actually smiling. On the arm of Alice Heartwood( @everyones-aunt-alice), her adoptive older sister, who wore a beautiful red dress, her wing wrapped around her little sister protectively as they made their way down the aisle. When they reached the end, she embraced her, then held Valeria's face as she kissed the younger woman's forehead softly.

Becca came next. Dressed in a flowing white gown with rich brown curls settling over her, she was a sight to see, angelic, like a storybook princess, glowing with love. Her belly was round with a baby just starting to show, one hand resting there happily, clearly proud, not trying to hide it in the least. She was on the arm of Bucky Barnes( @official-buckybarnes @buckybarnesoffical @justawhitewolf @barnes-jamesbuchanan-official @james-barnes-wintersoldier), leaning close to her older brother, her other arm held by her mother, Winnifred( @winnifred-winni-barnes).

Tears glittered in her eyes as she slowly made her way down the aisle, eyes never leaving her wife-to-be. When she reached the alter, she kissed her brother's cheek and let her mothers embrace her, squeezing their hands as all three of them welcomed Valeria.

Then, she took Valeria's hand, and they went to the alter, officiated by Alice. They held hands through the introductions and a single reading, a short speech on the responsibilities of marriage, before Eliza produced the rings and handed them to the brides.

Becca was the first to give her vows, squeezing the other woman's hands. "Valeria, my love," she murmured. "I don't even know where to start, to be honest with you." her voice raised to be heard by the whole room, and she smiled eyes full of love. "So I'll start where I can and tell you what's in my heart. I don't come from an easy place. Neither of us do, and neither of us knew the first thing about this mess. We all know I could talk about this for hours, many of those with us have heard me do so. So let me condense it for everyone's sake. Valeria Delacroix, you are the best thing to ever happen to me. You are my saving grace and the woman who found me when I needed love and someone to lean on, and stood by me. You have always taken care of me, always loved me this way. Your love taught me to be stronger, to learn, to give myself the choice to make decisions for myself instead of others. Your love for me has given me the most amazing life I could dream of -- us, our children with us today, and the little one who is still waiting to come to this side of the world."

She took a deep breath, smiling. "The first gift you ever gave me was a pearl necklace. That first night where we finally took control of our feelings and gave a chance to having an 'us.' Months later when we began to realize how badly we needed to heal and started that journey, I found myself wearing it every day. And as it turns out, that's for an incredibly simple reason. It reminded me of you and that you've got me, til death do us part, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, better or for worse. And I love that. I love you."

Valeria was fighting tears by the time it was her turn, to her the woman she was marrying the only soul in the room as they looked at each other. "Rebecca Barnes, treasure of my heart," she began softly. "I have no words in any language for what you are to me. You are not just my wife or my lover, my best friend or my darling, you are all of those and so much more, sweet Rebecca. You are truly my soulmate, in every way. You cut through my layers so easily, each moment I fall more in love with you. I do not deserve you, nor will I ever, as I have told you a thousand times. But here's what I did not know then, that you have taught me. It's not about something so arbitrary as 'deserving,' but about trying. No more being defeated, but instead striving to be more, to be better, stronger. Something so rare yet so amazing. You once said you wanted me without my armor, at the pace I was comfortable with. Slowly helping me let myself be simply me. Loving me unabashedly, with so much hope it became infectious.

"And you have changed me, entirely for the better. You let me love again, and have not left, so constant I ought to be concerned. But I also know you will never leave. You have made what was once a house into a home. You have brought our children into it, and carry another in this moment. You are truly my guardian angel, my saving grace. I will love you and cherish you until the end of time, spoil you despite objections but within your comfort, and make sure you live out a long, happy, and comfortable life. For richer or poorer, til death do us part, in sickness and in health."

By the time Valeria got through her vows, nearly the whole room was crying. But Alice pushed through, smiling with her tears.

"Rebecca Barnes, do you take this woman, Valeria Delacroix, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

Becca nodded, wiping her tears. "I do." she slid an elegant silver ring onto her wife's finger

"And Valeria Delacroix, do you take Rebecca Barnes as your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do," Valeria answered, French accent thick with emotion, slipping the beautiful golden ring she had chosen onto Becca's finger.

"Then, by the power vested in me by the State of New York, any Gods there may be, and several hundred years of life, I now declare you lawful wives -- you may now each kiss your bride!"

the room broke out in cheers as Valeria caught Becca up in her arms and Becca threw her arms around Valeria's neck, kissing passionately as Becca spun her wife around, kissing her over and over

Finally, after hardships overcome and love, a thousand trials, a million moments, and overwhelming love in general, they were married. And neither could be happier

OOC:

Normally I'd apologize for making OOC posts like this. But I'm not going to this time.

I am speaking not only on my own behalf, but also speaking on behalf of @/official-buckybarnes

What the actual fuck. What makes you think you have the right to start up drama most especially when it includes someone who has made it abundantly clear that they did not want any drama.

You know who you are. But I'm more than willing to say names if I have to.

Bucky's mun put in a lot of effort into planning out all of this.

Not ONCE was she even contacted about the shit that happened. And do you understand how upsetting that is to someone?

Do you understand how much you've upset her? Even more so when you start claiming things like "He hates me now and he has every right" or other incredible hurtful and negative things have been said?

Bucky's mun, again, has made it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR she didn't want any of this drama, and it is ridiculous to not only do so anyways, but to continuously do it on multiple occasions. Not to mention, again, she was not ONCE included in a single plan for any of this. Which is downright disrespectful, and might I even personally add, childish.

So allow me to make this clear. No room for argument.

Bucky's mun WAS NOT contacted about any of the drama that started regarding the wedding or even the previous drama regarding the drama with Natasha returning to the Red Room.

Bucky's mun WAS NOT consenting to any of this drama.

Bucky's mun DID NOT want to role-play in these scenarios and was actively made upset time and time again by these incidents.

Bucky's mun DID NOT have Bucky say anything negative about other members, nor did Bucky claim that he hated Natasha.

Bucky's mun HAS made it clear that she did not want to be involved in drama, most especially scenarios such as this.

Bucky's mun IS incredibly upset and has been actively distraught over not only this situation, but previous situations as well with unwanted, unwarranted, and unsolicited drama.

And frankly, I'm pretty sick of it too. And that's fucking saying something because I do angst RPs. But I at least have the basic decency to plan it out with the other parties involved.

And it doesn't help either when you start having your character immediately start searching for other families the moment this drama happens. Which, again, Bucky's mun was not even kept in the loop of anything happening. And that is incredibly drastic.

I've seen a lot of folks post this today already, but CHECK IN WITH YOUR RP PARTNERS BEFORE YOU START THINGS LIKE THIS. IT CAN BE INCREDIBLY UPSETTING AND MENTALLY DRAINING. EVEN MORE SO WHEN IT'S HEAVY SUBJECTS LIKE THIS.

[uhsolikethis]

Sam: Hey, Buck. We've been around each other a lot the last past few months and... Well.. I think I'm starting to like you and *deep sigh* I don't want to beat around the bush here but it would be nice to go at together sometime. You know a like a date.

Bucky:... Uuh-

Sam: Oh my god, was I reading into this wrong? I'm sorry this is so-

Bucky: We're not already dating?
